Grille care

What's the best way to remove small scratches, buff and polish an aluminum grille? There is no coating on the grille - it was either removed before or just worn off over time. Thanks!

I use Mothers Mag Polish. Works great on my worn out old grilles.

Re: Grille care

Use the search for the thread on refurbishing your trim. There's a sequence with oven cleaner, scratch pad, sand paper, and "Ever brite" Clear coat. What I've seen it looks great and the coating is durable.
Of course it's a little work, but in the end you don't have cheap replcement trim that just doesn't compare to original
